Why does Romney keep his cash in Swiss bank accounts?

Do we really want a tax dodger as POTUS? Or, is that just the "American" way now?

Yes...Legal...just another loophole for the SUPER wealthy to jump thru.....

Update 2:

lastname....CORRECT!!! New tax code needed

    Did you also ask Tim Geithner about his taxes?

    You might not like want Romney is doing, but it's perfectly legal and it shows that he knows how to handle money.

    P.S. Are you going to try to convince us that you don't take every tax deduction that you can or do you consider those loopholes, too?

    i love the way republicans defend this loop hole , then cry that their taxes are to high. they dont have the common sense to realize this is the reason. what a bunch of idiots.CHANGE/ CLOSE THE LOOP HOLE. most republicans make 38000 per year dems make 43000 per year . why are dems for closing these loop holes and reps. against them , maybe they need to go back to school and retake math. this is the reason our taxes are high.

    So? Get wealthy and quit whining. Also learn the facts. If you have any investments, you would know that most municipal bonds and many corporations have accounts off shore. Most of them pay better interest rates.

    As one person said, it's his money, what business is it of yours. The only people who I have ever heard whine about this sort of thing is the ones who will never make any money and never try and just moan about how unfair it is that people are rich. Oh, boo hoo.

    What does it matter where anyone keeps his/her money?

    Whose money is it?

    Why do you believe it is any of your business to know where everyone else keeps their money?

    I have no idea where you keep your money. Is it any of my business?

    Why don't we do this/

    Is America governed by the Constitution or have we become a collective nation that must know where everyone keeps their money?

    Swiss accounts although not as secret as they once were, are one of the best places to keep ones money.
